A completely transparent, heat-shrinkable tubing called FIT-CLEAR is manufactured using a modified polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) material that offers UL VW-1 flame retardancy with a low shrink temperature of 150ºC. It has an effective operating temperature range of -55 to 175ºC with an approximate shrinkage ratio of 2:1 at 150ºC. It also displays exceptional resistance to mechanical abrasion and cut-through as well as resistance to chemicals including solvents.
FIT-CLEAR forms part of the company’s FIT Preferred Heat Shrink Products line. The range is made from premium compounds under tight manufacturing controls. This ensures FIT will consistently display excellent physical characteristics, such as low longitudinal shrinkage and wide temperature ranges while providing an aesthetic appearance when used alone or on OEM equipment. The FIT Preferred Heat Shrink Product line consists of many different tubing types each designed with unique attributes which offer tubing solutions for the broadest possible range of applications and environments.
Applications:
- Visual inspection and identification
- Automotive wiring, jackets, and fuse covering applications
- Jacketing for resistors, capacitors, and other components
- Low & High temperature environments
- Caustic and chemical environments
- Replacement of non-flame retardant clear heat shrinkable sleeving
